Dayton woman wins $50K on $10 Holiday Cash Vault scratch-off ticket

DAYTON, OH — A Dayton woman got an early holiday surprise after winning $50,000 from a Holiday Cash Vault scratch-off ticket purchased at a local convenience store.

The winning $10 ticket was bought at the ampm store located at 3700 W. 3rd Street in Dayton. After the required 27.125% in state and federal taxes, the winner will receive $36,437.50 in cash.

Holiday Cash Vault is a seasonal scratch-off game with overall odds of 1 in 3.50. As of November 13, the game still features three top prizes of $500,000 and eight remaining second-tier prizes of $50,000.

The win adds to a wave of recent holiday-themed scratch-off payouts across Ohio. The game is part of the Ohio Lottery’s seasonal lineup, which typically sees increased player participation ahead of the holiday season.

Since its founding in 1974, the Ohio Lottery has contributed more than $34 billion to public education in the state, with scratch-off sales being a major revenue driver.
